Patent number: 11876765Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for maintaining messaging privileges on a messaging platform. A method may include determining that a message has been sent to a first computing device of a first user from a second computing device of a second user, wherein the message is on a messaging platform. In response to determining that the first user provided consent for a recording of the first user during output of the message on the first computing device, the method may include retrieving the recording of the first user indicative of a reaction to the message. The method may include determining whether the second user is violating a social contract of the messaging platform based on the reaction of the first user, and in response to determining that the second user is violating the social contract, may include suspending a writing privilege of the second user on the messaging platform.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: A Social CompanyInventor: Harold R.

Patent number: 11196692Abstract: Disclosed is a social contract-based messaging platform. The social contract can be that messages exchanged between users spread or create a positive emotion, such as happiness. Any message that a recipient found to generate a negative emotion can be found to be in violation of the social contract, and the messaging platform can restrict the senders of such messages from spreading negative emotions by suspending their writing privileges. Thus, the messaging platform can encourage users to spread positive emotions.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: A SOCIAL COMPANYInventor: Harold R.

Patent number: 11178085Abstract: Disclosed is a social media platform for receiving reaction videos. The platform allows users to send video(s) to other user(s) of the platform. A sender of a video can include instructions or requests to record reaction video(s) to one or more portion(s) of the video. The recipient can accept to record a reaction video for the portion(s) requested by the sender. Additionally, the platform uses a social contract to spread or create a positive emotion, such as happiness. Thus, any video that a recipient finds to generate a negative emotion can be found to be in violation of the social contract, and the messaging platform can restrict the senders of such videos by restricting their recording privileges.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: A Social CompanyInventor: Harold R.
